Default Coilover is stuck :(

I recently just purchased some coilovers and decided to put them on today. I was able to easily adjust 3 of them but the last one was just STUCK. i tried spraying some wd 40 and liquid wrench but still no help.

any thoughts??


Regards,
Tuan

what do you mean by STUCK?
what's exactly stuck on it?

is it on of the height/spring perches?

what coilover is it?
do you know does it have aluminum or steel body?

Not sure what part is stuck. But try using two spanner wrenches and a rubber mallet if it's the lower spring perch.

i did try two spanner wrenches and a flat head with hammering to adjust the ride height but it doesn't move. one of coilover on the rear left makes this cracking noise whenever i drive on it, its constantly. i try adjusting the dampering settings (top notches) but it also really hard to twist compare to the 3 other one. i have godspeed rs coiloverrs

any help will be much appreciate thanks

are both sides (L/R) jacked up when you're trying to adjust? If you only jacked up one side the swaybar is going to be fighting you.

Regarding the "cracking" sound (not sure if you mean "creaking")... did you preload the suspension before you tightened everything up?
